NEPAL
A trip to The Kingdom of Nepal may well be the best hiking holiday of your life.
It’s the abode of the Gods.
The exotic Buddhist and Hiindu culture is as fascinating as are the world’s highest peaks.
Most trekkers are set on Everest or Annapurna, but there are many other great choices, especially if you sign on with a trekking company that can get you into restricted areas like Mustang.

Tourism is important to the Nepalis. Foreign hikers feel welcome as soon as they arrive. And hiking in the world’s highest mountains can be “easy” on “tea house” treks where you stroll with just a day pack.
Or, if you want the full mountaineering experience, sidetrip up, up, up towards the clouds.
The weather and conditions are much milder than you might expect. Best months to trek are Oct-Nov (post-monsoon) & April-May (pre-monsoon).

Our favourite hike in Nepal is the Annapurna Circuit. It’s our #8 hike in the world, as well.

The best guidebook for trekking in Nepal is still Lonely Planet Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya, Eighth Edition though it’s not been updated since 2001.
